The Plan B Company is an integrator in the connected car area, meaning that we will help customers set up a complete structure in order to execute a successful connected car strategy. We mediate between suppliers and companies that want to engage in the connected car area. The Plan B Company arranges the right suppliers for hardware, software, connectivity and service providers to match the specific needs and supplies this in one package.
Based on the customer demands we determine which hardware to use to get the maximum result. We use CAN-bus readers for the car manufacturers for the following reasons, for example:
- Non-writing, thus non intrusive
- High security
- Automotive grade components
- All sensor data available
- Electric vehicles
For lease & rental, transport and service & maintenance companies we use hardware which can be connected to the OBDII port, for the following reasons:
- More suitable for diversified car parks
- Easy to integrate with 3rd party hardware (Garmin, TomTom, etc)
Our connected car platform is an open platform which means that this platform is future proof because of the flexibility (integration with service providers such as parking, electronic vehicle health check, insurances, weather reports, etc.).
The platform is not only suited to collect the data from the vehicles and to enrich it, but this platform is also suitable to link a variety of data sources together with combining several data points and inform the driver through notifications and also provide relevant propositions.
The Plan B Company is compliant in the field of security and privacy of customer data following the new GDPR (EC directive 2016/680-679 of April 2016), which needs to be in place May 2018.
We believe that first of all data needs to be collected and combined, so you can create insight in customers wishes & behavior. Then small propositions can be offered and again more customer insight is created, etc. This is a continuous process which can intensify the relationship with your customers, if and only when your relevant.
Examples:
- Service reminders (on-time)
- Pro-active maintenance
- Push notifications (incident based)
- Parking & fueling
- Trip history (conform Dutch tax laws)
The Plan B Company helps companies in the connected car domain develop relevant business cases, using a large variety of data sources.
